SARAH LINCOLN ACADEMY, ABERDEEN, N. C.
One of the schools of the Presbyterian Board ofiMissionsTor Freedmen
Hardin Institute, Allendale, S. C.
Hardin Institute is one hundred and four miles from
Charleston, S. C., and is situated at Allendale, Barnwell County.
The advantages of the location consist chiefly in its health¬
fulness and nearness to the masses. It is the center of the great
“ Black Belt ” of South Carolina. In this portion of the
state the Negroes outnumber the whites.
The educational advantages are poor, especially in the rural
districts, where the schools are open only from two to three
months in the year, and are poorly taught. There is little or no
system. The schoolrooms are overcrowded, and often one
teacher. Such schools do little towards the uplifting of a race.
It was the purpose of the founder of Hardin Institute to
establish a school in the midst of this vast population where
good normal training could be had. In isolated localities of
this kind there are not any high or training schools for the Negro
youth, the major portion of whom are too poor to go to any far-
distant school. Barnwell County alone could easily fill the
school, which will accommodate 500 or more.

One of the schools of the Presbyterian Board of Missions
for Freedmen, in the White River, Ark., Presbytery.

valued at $1,300.
